Folkestone Warren has lots of uneven surfaces as some paths are natural and not surfaced. There are also a few steeper gradients to be aware of depending on your equipment. Unfortunately the Wild with Wheels assessment shows that this location is currently not suitable to attendant led/self propelled wheelchairs.
The challenge rating of this walk is level 3+ (RED). Explanations of the challenge ratings can be found on the Wild with Wheels website. Additionally, there aren’t many sit spots en route so those with mobility restrictions should bring a sitting aid such as an all terrain rollator or seated stick, if able to walk for quite a distance, but with rests in between.
PLEASE NOTE: There are NO disabled access toilets on the site, so walks are limited to 2 hours maximum. There is a small carpark with no specified Disabled Parking spots. So parking on site is a first come first served basis. We’ll be exploring the grounds taking time to enjoy the surroundings.
